[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 1763280, member: 16019"] Saethorn's Polite Tap Evocation Level: Brd 0, Clr 0, Sor/Wiz 0 Components: None Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell causes the target to receive a slight physical "tap" from the caster. The "tap" may be light or forceful (caster's choice)- in either case, it deals no damage and cannot affect objects, nor can it be used to disrupt spellcasting. The target may make a Wisdom check (DC 5) to know which direction the tap came from; otherwise its origin is unknown. This spell is mostly used to get a specific person's attention without drawing the attention of others- and as it has no verbal or somatic components, it can be easily utilized by bound, gagged, and [i]Held[/i] individuals. What do you all think? Would it be too powerful (considering it really doesn't do much at all) to change the casting time to 1 swift action rather than a standard action? Comments and/or critiques please. [/QUOTE]
